|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Want to break into New media: $13K bid for internship! Jack Howard, Photographer, Photo Editor Central Jersey | NJ | USA | Posted: 9:46 AM on 05.14.09 ->> Bids for an internship slot at HuffPo currently at $13K! Is this the solution to what's ailing media? http://adage.com/adages/post?article_id=136624  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I suppose, though, that this makes sense in the twisted context of our increasingly disparate American class system (yes, class does exist here!). It's hard enough to compete with people/students who are wealthy enough to be able to work for free; but to pay for the privilege? When will the Haves and Have-Mores have enough?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (1) | Huh?

Kirby Yau Center For Kids Who Can't take pictures good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too. Starting bid... $1250  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (8) | Huh?

It's because I connected, networked, and sometimes pestered to acquire that internship. These students need to realize that you make things happen by doing footwork, and by paying for the opportunity you bastardize that sense of accomplishment and the attachment to opportunity. At the end of the day despite whether that internship is with a ma and pa shop or the ACME corp, bottom line it comes down to the person’s drive and determination to take full advantage of the opportunity rather than something that looks good on a resume.  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

And the money goes to charity! Yay, charity! There's still 20+ "unpaid/free" internship slots available for deserving and talented students who can afford to work all summer long for no money, but can't afford to buy enough Wonka Bars to ensure they get the golden ticket to new media superduperstardom! ~~~~~  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

They would almost instantly become have nots.  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (4) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
